Description: | A Roman, incomplete cast copper alloy Enamelled Disc Brooch with a rivetted centre boss. The pin is missing and the edges of the brooch have been chipped and worn away; it is possible that the brooch had peripheral lugs at either end but these have now been lost. A central knop protrudes from an enamelled circle and is riveted inplace from the reverse. The remaining design consists of two concentric moulded circles containing the remains of an intricate enamelled pattern in both. The colours used are red, blue and green. On the reverse are the remains of a catch plate and hinge. The brooch weighs 8.98gm. The width is 34.11mm and length is 27.91mm.A similar example can be seen in Hattat's "Brooches of Antiquity" ref 1052, page 175, which dates to the 2nd century AD.
